The Problem

On July 9th, 2011, I, Kahlil Cummings, will be opening up a school of West African Drum and Dance in the city of Los Angeles called Tam Tam Mandingue Los Angeles. This school will be ran like an academy and it will have students from 8-21 years of age coming to learn West African music. Djembe orchestrated instruments are very expensive, and I'm looking for help in providing majority or all of the djembes for the students to be able to play while they attend my academy.

Plan of Action

I plan to write letters to different investors to see if they could donate monies, and I will go around to local Drum shops and see if they have drums to donate.
